"Elizabeth Egbert owns a galvanizing plant. Customers bring in their fabricated steel products (like light poles, towers, trailers, etc.), and Egbert dips them into a heated vat of molten zinc. The zinc bonds to the metal and produces a highly durable corrosion resistant product. " Egbert's primary inventory is molten zinc purchased from suppliers in large blocks of solid material. These blocks are immersed in the heated vat and will melt together with the zinc already in the pool. Egbert generally keeps the vat relatively full, and it is never allowed to cool. Egbert started the year 20X8 with 500,000 pounds of zinc in the pool. During the year Egbert purchased 2,800,000 pounds of zinc. At year's end, the pool contained 520,000 pounds of zinc.

Please answer A, C, E, F, G

(a) How much zinc was used during 20X8? (b) Accountants frequently refer to "goods available for sale." Is this concept the same as ending inventory? How much zinc, in pounds, was "available for sale?" (c) If the beginning inventory cost $1.25 per pound, and purchases during 20X8 cost $1.50 per pound, how much is the "cost of goods available for sale"? (e) If Egbert uses FIFO, how much should be attributed to ending inventory and how much to cost of goods sold? (f) If Egbert uses LIFO, how much should be attributed to ending inventory and how much to cost of goods sold? (g) What will be the difference in profitability between choosing the FIFO and LIFO methods? Does is seem reasonable the choice of accounting method can change the reported profit?

Will Thumbs Up Immediately If Answered,

Bryan followed in his father’s footsteps and entered into the carpet business. He owns and operates I Do Carpet (IDC). Bryan prefers to install carpet only, but in order to earn additional revenue, he also cleans carpets and sells carpet cleaning supplies. Compute his taxable income for the current year considering the following items:

a) IDC contracted with a homebuilder in December of last year to install carpet in 10 new homes being built. The contract price of $80,000 includes $50,000 for materials (carpet). The remaining $30,000 is for IDC’s service of installing the carpet. The contract also stated that all money was to be paid up front. The homebuilder paid IDC in full on December 28 of last year. The contract required IDC to complete the work by January 31 of this year. Bryan purchased the necessary carpet on January 2 and began working on the first home January 4. He completed the last home on January 27 of this year.

b) IDC entered into several other contracts this year and completed the work before year-end. The work cost $130,000 in materials and IDC elects to immediately deduct his supplies. Bryan billed out $240,000 but only collected $220,000 by year-end. Of the $20,000 still owed to him, Bryan wrote off $3,000 he didn’t expect to collect as a bad debt from a customer experiencing extreme financial difficulties.

c) IDC entered into a three-year contract to clean the carpets of an office building. The contract specified that IDC would clean the carpets monthly from July 1 of this year through June 30 three years hence. IDC received payment in full of $8,640 ($240 a month for 36 months) on June 30 of this year.

d) IDC sold 100 bottles of carpet stain remover this year for $5 per bottle (it collected $500). IDC sold 40 bottles on June 1 and 60 bottles on November 2. IDC had the following carpet cleaning supplies on hand for this year, and IDC has elected to use the LIFO method of accounting for inventory under a perpetual inventory system: Purchase Date Bottles Total Cost November last year 40 $120 February this year 35 $112 July this year 25 $85 August this year 40 $140 Totals 140 $457

e) On August 1 of this year, IDC needed more room for storage and paid $900 to rent a garage for 12 months.

f) On November 30 of this year, Bryan decided it was time to get his logo on the sides of his work van. IDC hired We Paint Anything, Inc. (WPA), to do the job. It paid $500 down and agreed to pay the remaining $1,500 upon completion of the job. WPA indicated it wouldn’t be able to begin the job until January 15 of next year, but the job would only take one week to complete. Due to circumstances beyond its control, WPA wasn’t able to complete the job until April 1of next year, at which time IDC paid the remaining $1,500.

g) In December, Bryan’s son, Aiden, helped him finish some carpeting jobs. IDC owed Aiden $600 (reasonable) compensation for his work. However, Aiden did not receive the payment until January of next year.

h) IDC also paid $1,000 for interest on a short-term bank loan relating to the period from November 1 of this year through March 31 of next year.
